The Avoca Kumara Kai Iwi Lakes Triathlon organised by Sport Northland is back for the eleventh time at the stunning Kai Iwi Lakes on the 25 February 2017!

From the rolling hills to the crystal clear freshwater lakes the sheer beauty of the area will fuel motivation as you navigate the course tucked away in the Kauri Coast.

Incorporating two adult distances and a children’s event the Avoca Kumara Kai Iwi lakes Triathlon caters tot he whole family. Options including age groups, individuals and teams satisfy all ability levels while challenging those who wish to push the limits.

The course starts with the swim taking place at the main lake where the translucent water is not only an inviting beginning but a refreshing start to the event. Both the cycle and run courses include some significant hills, with the run being majority off road adding further mental and physical demands on athletes. With each transition occurring at one base the event makes for a fun atmosphere where spectators feel involved the whole way through.
